Mary's Rec Room

This bar and microbrewery is a sporty sibling to Hamburger Mary’s, Andersonville’s go-to spot for burgers with a side of kitsch. As next-door annex to Mary's (there's no signage yet, but you can enter through Mary's or a separate street entrance), the appetizer- and burger-heavy menu is the same, but the space is more masculine (co-owner Brandon Wright calls it a "butcher Mary’s"), with high-top bar tables and lots of flat-screen TVs, plus a view of the microbrewery's tanks along one wall. Wright, a longtime homebrewer, is trying his hand as brewmaster. He plans to keep an amber ale, a pale ale and a pilsner on tap at all times, with other specialty beers rotating into the lineup seasonally; the debut beer is a lingonberry wheat, a tip of the hat to the neighborhood’s Swedish heritage
